Apocalypse Rebirth: Crazy from Day One

Chapter 477: Chapter 486: Secret

She wasn’t short on food. If the opportunity arose, she didn’t mind helping others.

However, she despised those who tried to scheme against her. Even though she had plenty of food, she would never give any of it to people like that.

She wasn’t lacking food, but if someone actively schemed against her, trying to rob or trick her, she would never let them get their way.

As for those she didn’t dislike, she didn’t mind lending a hand when she could.

For instance, people she considered friends, like Felix Lawrence and his group, or these people in front of her now. They weren’t her friends, and she had no connection to them.

But they were open and honest, so she didn’t mind giving them a little extra.

To her, it was nothing. She didn’t feel the loss at all.

But Zane Xavier didn’t know any of this, so it was perfectly normal for him to be worried.

Thinking this, Stella Sterling spoke before he could. "I know what you’re worried about. But don’t worry, your master isn’t stupid. If I didn’t have enough to eat myself, why would I give food to others?"

"The fact that I’m willing to give it away means I have it to spare. And since you’re with me, I naturally won’t treat you poorly."

Hearing Stella Sterling’s words, Zane Xavier knew Miss Sterling had seen right through him.

A hint of embarrassment appeared on his face.

But it was just a hint. He quickly became very composed.

’It’s a little awkward, but isn’t it normal for me to be worried?’

’After all, in this apocalypse, isn’t everyone just trying to get their next meal?’

He could also tell that Miss Sterling’s words were meant to put his mind at ease and reassure him.

And he did feel much more relieved. ’Miss Sterling isn’t an idiot. How could she give food to those people if she didn’t have any for herself?’

However, he was still a little puzzled. Where did Miss Sterling get such confidence?

Right now, all they had was one vehicle. He had glanced inside and seen it was piled high with things.

But no matter how much was in there, it would run out someday.

Yet looking at Miss Sterling, she didn’t seem worried in the slightest.

Although he was still puzzled, he didn’t ask any more questions.

’At least we won’t be short on food or drink for a while. As for the future... well, I’m on Miss Sterling’s side now, so we’ll have to face future difficulties together.’

He didn’t say anything else, but Stella Sterling saw the flicker of worry in his eyes.

She knew what he was thinking. ’After all, I have no fixed home right now, just a single vehicle, one that he probably thinks I scavenged from who-knows-where.’

’From his perspective, my words probably don’t hold much weight. No matter how much food you have, it’ll eventually run out, and to him, it looks like we have one vehicle’s worth at most.’

However, Stella Sterling didn’t explain. He would understand in due time.

’He’s already taken the Loyal Servant Pill, so I don’t have to worry about revealing the existence of my space to him.’

’Once he sees it, his mind will naturally be put at ease.’

Stella Sterling had no intention of hiding it from him. He was one of her people now, and she didn’t want him constantly worrying about something like this.

He just needed to follow her and obey her commands. He didn’t need to worry about the rest.

Zane Xavier turned and went back to his work, while Stella Sterling returned to the vehicle.

Inside the car, she ate her fill. Then she put a few steamed buns into a bag, came out, and handed it to the sweat-drenched Zane Xavier. "This is for you," she said. "I’m leaving for a bit, but I’ll be back soon."

Zane Xavier stared at the steamed buns in his hand, his eyes filled with deep confusion. The buns were still warm, as if they had just been steamed.

’But we’ve been together ever since we left Sanctyr Base.’

’Where did she get hot steamed buns?’

This place wasn’t like Sanctyr Base, where people prepared food every day and getting a hot meal was normal.

They were out in the wild now. How could Miss Sterling possibly make these? And even if she had made them earlier, they would have long since gone cold!

Even if she had some, they should be rock-hard by now. Where did these fragrant, soft, and hot buns come from?

He only now remembered that the first meal he’d eaten with Miss Sterling after waking up had also been hot.

It was as if it had been freshly made.

Before, back in the abandoned village, he could have assumed Miss Sterling had found some tools to heat it up.

Even if it was a bit strange, he hadn’t given it much thought.

But now, as these hot steamed buns were handed to him in a bag, the strange feeling became much stronger.

Zane Xavier looked up at Miss Sterling, hesitating to speak.

Stella Sterling, however, was perfectly calm. "You’ll find out eventually."

She didn’t say anything more for now.

Zane Xavier nodded, suppressing the shock in his heart.

He tried his best to appear calm and not reveal anything unusual.

After all, there were still a lot of people not far away. It wouldn’t be good if they noticed something was amiss.

Although he was just as shocked internally.

But since Miss Sterling had said that, it meant she would explain the reason to him later.

He just had to wait a little while.

As for this... He attributed it to some secret Miss Sterling was keeping.

In any case, he was still very happy to be able to eat fresh, hot steamed buns. Although it couldn’t compare to the meal he’d had before, just being able to eat steamed buns in this apocalypse was already a rare treat.

Besides, Miss Sterling had given him several at once.

Back at Sanctyr Base, he wouldn’t even get this much in a whole day.

After handing him the food, Stella Sterling gave him a few more instructions and then turned to leave.

She had to find the people from Sanctyr Base who had followed her out.

Those people had, after all, followed her. She couldn’t just leave them to fend for themselves.

Although she didn’t plan on taking them with her for the time being, she had to find a way to meet up with them and get them settled first.

Otherwise, things wouldn’t go well for those who had already betrayed Sanctyr Base.

This time, Stella Sterling didn’t take the car. Driving was too conspicuous and would easily attract attention. After Miles Sanctus lost track of her, he would surely guess that she would try to meet up with her followers. He might even try to have someone watch them in secret.

’So I have to find them quietly.’

She also didn’t take Zane Xavier with her. Sometimes, more people weren’t necessarily better.
